Embrace adulthood at Skyterra
Skyterra Embrace is our specialized program for young women. This nurturing retreat experience helps young women embrace adulthood with a healthy mind, body and spirit. Embrace combines our five-star wellness program with empowering workshops, seminars and hands-on life skills classes.
Participants engage in all we have to offer: fun and efficient fitness, yoga, meditation, nutrition, cooking demonstrations, health education, outdoor recreation in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and more. The Embrace experience helps you navigate issues like depression, anxiety, and coping with high-stress situations with school, friends, family, and living on your own.
Personalized journey
Since no two journeys are alike, each young woman receives support and coaching for her personal goals and circumstances. Individual and group sessions are integrated weekly with daily body movement and education classes. Each week, one to four women will participate ensuring plenty of individual attention. All fitness levels are welcome.

Our view of health and wellness emphasizes managing stress, consistent movement, and eating balanced meals, plus plenty of nature and adventure. Cultivate resiliency by learning the most nourishing and enjoyable ways to cook, eat, move, and take care of yourself. This empowers and prepares you to take on all of life's responsibilities.
